New Years Eve – A few hours left to 2009
I’m going to save the last count, “One” for you. I wish that we could do this together on a conference line. But, aside from the logistics, my voice sounds like Minnie Mouse sucking helium. Besides, when things show up differently than we imagined, it’s a great opportunity to try something new. So here’s your step for today. Doing it on your own with no distractions just might be a better.
With this step, you’re going to lock in your resolve with a kind of ceremony. Here it is:
- With your 2 lists in hand (one with yes statements and one with no statements) go to a room somewhere in your house that you can, with complete certainty, not return to until after midnight tonight. If you’ll be out tonight and won’t come home before midnight, then about 5-10 minutes before you walk out your door, do the next step.
- Next step – Say, out loud, with your complete conviction, each of the three statements on your yes list. After each statement, say, “yes”, just as clearly and confidently as you initially made each statement.
- Then, do the same thing with your no list. Say the statement and say, “No”. And say it with conviction. You own these choices.
- Now with full and complete awareness and the knowledge in your heart of hearts, that you can and will keep these commitments, walk through the door of this room (or your house). And step in to your new choices.
- Finally, as you count, “ONE” tonight, think of this ceremony you’ve just completed.
Because of the way you mind works, the last two steps anchor your commitments. And, whenever you are faced with a decision that involves this resolution you’ve made, you’ll find it much easier to do what will be in alignment with your values. Over time, any question arising on this issue will become a no-brainer.
Congratulations, once again, on giving yourself such a wonderful gift. You now, have everything you need to succeed in getting a killer start to 2009. Except maybe a little champagne or sparkling cider. I’ll be lifting my glass in a toast to you at midnight mountain time. To your success!
